a small portion of an extensive narrative
which Governor Donnelly has worked out,
but which he conceiveS to be the earnest of a
much longer one. 1t is said by those who
have been fortunate enough to be pei mitted
to see 1t, to be startling in the highest de.
gree, and Governor Donnelly cannot expect
TO have it accepted without struggle.

most startling announcement thaChas been

his theory of the rotation of the earth 1t Is
the more remarkable that after period of
nearly three hundred years this discovery
should be made by an American, and Still
more extraordinary that it Should be made
by one residing beyond the Mississippi River

The author OF the Cryptogram Ignatius
Donneliy, is a native OF Philadelphia and is
now fifty five years ofage. In 1855 he went
West and settled in Minnesota. Buying
land he built house, which he still occupies,
at place called Nininger. which he hoped
would develop into a town; but the crisis in
1857 put an end TO all such possibilities. In
that year Mr.. Donnelly was nominated by
the Republicans for the State Senate, more
out OF compliment than anything else. New
ertheiess he made an extensive canvass, de-
livering his first political speeches and trav-
cling through the country. often at the risk
of being drowned in the bridgeess rivers. In
1853 being again nominated 10 the State Sen
ate he came within twelve votes of being
elected. In 1859 he was nominated for Lieu
nf ha
carry il Republican for the first time. On
this occasion he travelled $500 miles with
horses and wagons and made sixty speeches.
In 1857 he was reelected. In 1862 lie was
elected TO Congress and remained in it for
Six years, being reelected in 1864 and &c. In
1865 there was IL fight in the party, and Mr..
DCnnelly being opposed to General Grant,
went off on the Greedy wave, a nd was beat
en-, largely through the influence of Elihu
Washburn, who desiring to have his own
brother returned 10 Congress, attacked Mr.
DonneIIy in the House of Representatives.
Mr.. Donne.ly defended himself in a famous
speech, at the delivery of which the whole
Senate was present. In 1872 Mr. DonneIly
was nominated for Congress by combina-
tien of Anti Monopolists and Democrats, but
was defeated. In tire following year he was
elected to the State Senate aud served for
five years. He represented the farming in
terests of the state and fought with all his
might against the rule OF the wheat rings
and the exactions of the railways, which
were growing rich by robDing the farmers.
In 1873 he ran for Congress, but was defeated
by the Republican candidate, William d.
Washburne, at an expense of $4,000. In spite
OF this / e cut down the Republican majority
outside the city of Minneapolis, the strong
hold of the wheat rings, from ten thousand
TO seven hundred fifty. At this time he con-
Quoted q paper called the AntI-Monopolist,
whose purpose was to fight rings and mon
opolies, In this paper he sank many thous-
ands of dollars. In 1884 he was nominated
for Congress, but was defeated by tie domi-
nant monopolies. At present he is politi-
cally independent.
During his entire political career,' says
the New York World" Mr. DonnelIy has pre-
ferred justice and right to party interests.
His voice has ever been on the side of free
JON, hberality and honesty; on the side OF
honest labor and against monopoly. His
speeches in Congress on immigration, recon-
struction, the Freedmen's Bureau,the Indian
question ETC., are as elevated in tone and SEN
timent and as cogent in reasoning as they
are eloquent. In them all we cannot fail TO
recognize a man animated by spirit Of jus
tice and true religion, a man who, looking
beyond mere petty interests and Immediate
advantage, seeks with enthusiasm the we'll
being of his people and his race. Noone can
peruse these speeches without feeling that
Mr. Donneily is no ordinary politician, that
he is a large minded statesman of the old
stamp
